Spent the weekend analyzing the reel box scans and audio recovered from Akihabara last month.

The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'.

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.
